I use this method all of the time for quick quilts that will be used a lot. As it is all done on the machine, there is no possibility of hand stitches coming loose in the wash. I trim the backing off to about 1", mitre the corner, fold over and stitch. Unless you look closely, you can't even tell that it is not a separate binding. No one has complained as yet.

This is the first one that I found. It shows where you make your cut before folding and turning your backing

"Real binding"?? So if people choose to use the backing as binding, they are cheating somehow? Not using real binding? Seriously??
FWIW I prefer separate binding too but mainly because for me, it's easier. But I would never tell someone they aren't using 'real binding' if they choose to do it a different way. :shock:
